    Can you use dried shrimp in this recipe?

    Yes, but they need to be softened before baking. You can rehydrate them by soaking them in some warm water, and then use some of the water from soaking them (170ml) (after straining) to add extra shrimp flavor to the sauce. If you were to use the water only for the sauce, you won't need to use the beer. You can also try 85ml of the soaking water, with 85ml of beer, or just use beer (170ml), but that is entirely up to you, good luck and let me know if you have any other questions.🙂

    Looks and sounds delicious i am curious if you finely chop the chili pepper ? Or leave it whole in the marinade ?

    Probably best to leave it whole for easy removal Paulo, unless you want to add extra heat, then in that case, remove the seeds, chop and use.
